What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Friday ...

Breakfast: Two double decaffeinated espressos with cream and xylitol.

Lunch: Nothing as blood sugars a bit high at 6.3 (without food, maybe due to the cold).

Afternoon: Blood sugars down to 5.3, so had half a DD keto roll with tartar and mayonnaise.

Dinner: About 200g of tuna sashimi with a homemade dip with low-carb honey, soy sauce, ginger, lime and avocado oil.

Late night: A small piece of homemade low-carb cheesecake. One and a half glasses of dry red wine.

Hi Ziggy, I am new on here and was just wondering how you make your DD keto rolls. Are they from the diet doctor by any chance?

Hi @dwnunder,

How are you? Welcome to the forum.

You are right -- the recipe is from dietdoctor. I just tweaked the recipe a bit. I am using a mixture of flours (primarily almond and lupin -- altogether 5 cups), psyllium husks (1 cup), spices (ground caraway, coriander, and fennel seeds) and add some seeds (sesame, pumpkin, linseed, and chia). I also leave out the egg (which I found wasn't required), cream of tartar and baking soda as a rising agent, and add more boiling water than in the recipe (altogether 2.5 cups). The amount of water determines how fluffy the rolls get. When the mixture is too dry, I found that they don't rise much at all.

Preparing the rolls takes about 10 to 15 minutes -- so it's actually quite easy and they turn out every time.

Edited to add: Forgot to include a teaspoon of salt.

Thanks for the info on this - since my salmonella omelette last November I'm having to avoid eggs as my body isn't happy with them. Shall try the recipe without the eggs
 
Tiny bit naughty today.
B sausage and egg with black pudding
The had salad in a mini wrap with sliced chicken.
2 squares 85% dark choc then had Aldi lentil snacks with 10g carb per bag. Ok but not worth the carbs.
Mr H cooking chicken Korma tonight...no rice for me I like it just on its own.
 
Hi all.

Managed to get back to the gym today - previous visit was last Saturday. Also managed a fasting day, so no breakfast or lunch.

Dinner was fathead pizza with pepperoni topping followed by 6 Hotel Chocolat 100% buttons.

10.00am the smallest hot choc that Costa do.
10.30am scram egg on gluten free toast in a cafe
4pm a small bowl of homemade offal soup (lamb liver, kidney, heart, lungs with red wine, garlic, bay and rosemary). I was very surprised how nice it was. I was expecting to be underwhelmed, but it tasted like a steak and kidney pie soup. Definitely a keeper!
7pm another bowl of soup since i enjoyed the first one so much.

About to have some goatsmilk kefir.
 
Good morning all.
